So, Harry had his first real baby sitter on Sunday! Both of our mom's have watched him before, and Aidan, but this was the first person we didn't directly know. Of course, Sydney came with the highest of regards from both Tara and Aidan. Oh, and her previous employer was Laura Bush. So, we figure, good enough for the First Lady, good enough for Harry!
In all seriousness, we were told both he and Bailey did fine. I think she even referred to Harry as a "cherub". Her words, not ours, of course. Normally, we would expect nothing less, but the fact is he has been teething for the past couple of weeks. Lots of drool, lots of unsuccessful attempts to get comfortable, and, yes, a little bit of screaming. But just a little. He's a cherub, remember!
Aside from teething a bit early, he is now officially in his 6 month wardrobe. He went to daycare today in his red & white striped romper from baby Gap, given to him by Don & Carol (I've been reading too much vogue recently). It seems like just EXACTLY 1 month ago he was in his 3 month wardrobe. At this rate, I am going to need another job so he can have a whole new wardobe each month.
The most exciting news, though, is he can now pick things up. His favorite object is his Sqwish Ball from Manhatten Toys that Aidan & Josh gave him. He can lift it and roll it and even put it in his mouth, which is convenient since his mouth hurts. Poor little guy. He is a trooper though!
